The 2012/13 Off Season Thread

My wife and I are thinking of buying two Hobie kayaks - one each. We`ve never really done kayaking before, but I`m sure it isn`t hard.

How many metres long is the 4.8?

Only about 3 metres long. What a rip-off!

You should look at getting a tandem. Hobies are great. I'm thinking of putting one of the sails on my outback. Pedaling is easier than paddling but doing nothing is easier still.

I thought you would be a Triumph type of biker, not a Jarley. You're a fake HJ. :lol:

Triumphs and Harleys are for posers. You're paying for a name and an image and nothing else.

The bikes are of inferior quality, plain and simple. Jappo bikes are better designed, ride better and last longer. There is no comparison between the two.

People who champion Harleys and Triumphs are ignorant fools.

Looks like us forumers have bought up more in the last few weeks then the eels have the last 2 years, few weeks back picked up a 2010 xr6 turbo

I just bought a new coffee roaster (and have probably exceeded my 'expenditure cap' for the season). Cap auditor hasn't found out yet.

I know f**k all about bikes but I know a little about cars. Have had plenty. Japanese cars are without doubt the most reliable but when it comes to ride and driving pleasure nothing beats a refined European car. The downside of recent Euro vehicles is that they can be a little temperamental and servicing costs are huge. Even older models can set you back plenty. I just paid over $2K to replace the wiring harness on my recently purchased Merc coupe. I knew it needed replacing which is how I haggled enough with the owner to get a fantastic price. However that is the cars first major repair in over 170,000 km. The ride as I said in my previous post is astonishing. No wonder the original owner in 1994 paid over $125K for the car.

Twiz,

Did you know that Spurs are the unofficial Jewish team in the EPL? It has the largest Jewish following of all London Based teams in the EPL. That is why Bosnich got into so much shit when he did that Nazi salute in a game against them when he was the keeper for Man U.

I know very little about cars. I can pull my bike apart and put it back together easily enough but with a car I'm pretty much stuffed.

I paid $2k for my 1997 Mitsubishi Magna and I'm pretty happy with her.

I'll stick with my Jappo vehicles although if I ever decide to buy a car that's not a piece of crap it will be a Jaguar. Classy, just like me.

Jags break down more than Pou on an internet forum.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Especially if you shoehorn a 350 Chev into said Jag.

Spurs were founded by a Jew back at the start of last century and we still get referred to as Yids sometimes but any similarity ends there.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Dutch club Ajax are also unofficially known as the Jews.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Canterbury used to be known at the Berries and were founded in 1934 by the Lebanese.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Is that why they've never been known as the Jews?

6 months ago I bought a 2006 Falcon XR6 (non-turbo). Leather interior. It had only done 49,000KM. Beautiful car. Like new. I love it, but I would like a turbo (or an XR8).

The same can be said about women; Japanese women are extremely reliable but not very comfortable (too small). A European woman on the other hand, would generally be a much better ride, but would tend to break down a lot. Particularly the Italians (very emotional). That said, I married a lady of Irish decent - she`s got a few miles on the clock now, but has never had any major repairs done. You just have to be lucky.

Does she know you blow a grand a month on Vietnamese hire cars, lingard?

Awesome, I love the bf's, I was so close to getting a bf f6 but this FG popped up like new 22,000km and I had to have it.

Did you get the auto or manual, I had an manual xr8 before and this is my first turbo car, went for the auto, totally different cars the xr8 sounded good but wasn't that quick, the xr6turbo is dead silent but just motors, I had to hide my keys for this double demerit long weekend period, got the 50th anniversary so leather, premium sound, dual zone etc
